It recognizes the "signpost" as a landmark with the built-in camera and enables autonomous movement through its unique control system.

"SIGNAS" distinguishes itself from AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) that require route tapes, which are commonly used in many manufacturing and logistics sites, by incorporating a unique autonomous movement control system that realizes an unprecedented new guidance method. 【SIGNAS features easy route setting and modification, requiring minimal maintenance】 ■ Easy teaching - Simply install markers (signposts) - Easy setup that does not require programming knowledge - Quick initial installation with low setup costs ■ Easy layout changes - No need for route tape modification - No need for map reconfiguration 【Simple guidance method with three settings】 Just place the signpost (marker) at the desired location 1. Set the actions (forward/curve/spin turn/stop) 2. Set the SIGNAS travel route based on the distance from the signpost 3. Set the spacing of the signposts/travel distance 【Transport method】 "SIGNAS" can be used for both loading and towing. Load capacity: 150 kg when loaded / 500 kg when towing.

basic information

**Features** 1. Easy setup with a unique autonomous movement control system The robot measures the distance and direction to installed signposts (markers) using an embedded stereo camera, controlling its movement actions (start, curve, spin turn, stop) along the route. Setting the route only requires the installation of signposts, with no complicated programming knowledge needed. Additionally, changing the route is as simple as moving the signposts. Since there are no route tapes, there is no hassle of layout change construction. 2. Versatile applications and operating environments "SIGNAS" can be used for both loading and towing. While typical AGVs (automated guided vehicles) used for material transport on construction sites or logistics within factories have limited locations and applications, "SIGNAS" can operate in places with steps or ramps, as well as semi-outdoor areas with roofs. It can be utilized for a wide range of applications tailored to the conditions of the operating environment, space, and transported items. 3. Complete safety stop function Equipped with an LRF (laser range finder) and bumper sensors to detect obstacles during movement, it will safely stop if there are obstructions in its path.
